"Not surprisingly, many of the motivated resistors in my novel are from the WW2 to VN era."
I'm a Vietnam vet, and I hate to think the only patriots who will fignt for their freedoms ended with my generation. Surely there are some younger folks out there who love freedom and hate tyranny as much as I.
Well in my book the ages of the folks in the final attack scene are late 50s (2), thirties (2), 21, and the guy driving the getaway boat is in his 90s. (It's his boat. WW2 PT boat veteran with his crab boat.) Of course, I'm just making all this up.
But I think that generation by generation our gubbmint skools are turning our youth against freedom, guns, and the ideals of America, and turning them to socialism and world government.
So if we don't have some defining historical event to change the tide, freedom in America will simply go extinct in the next half century.
Well as a former light infantryman in his early twentys I can tell you with confidence that there are plenty of wet nosed cherries who would be on the firing line. Lots of new soldiers tell the same old lie about joining for the college money but you can see the tear start to form when the flag goes up.
Thats the one dissagreement I have with Travis's book. The militazation of the police can be a good thing too. Usually the the LEOs who are so quick to trample somebody's rights are the ones who have worn blue but never green.
